Scene 1.....
The scene opens to Chris Nitro and Ryan Hawkins sitting in a bar.
NITRO - Man these tag teams are coming out of the fucking woodwork aren't they.
Hawkins - Yeah man they really are. I guess word got out that IIW has the most dominant tag team champions in all of wrestling.
NITRO - It is about time we get a challenge though. Its hard to call ourselves the best when we have never had to defend these titles. I'm excited to have some real competition.
Hawkins - I am as well. We will end us as longest reigning tab champs even though we have zero title defenses.
NITRO - Right, it's not our fault that IIW didn't have any real tag teams till now though.
Hawkins - Speaking of longest reigning champions you see you're fighting for the hardcore title next show.
NITRO - The hardcore title, really that's still a thing?
Hawkins - Apparently so.
NITRO - Still 24/7?
Hawkins - Looks that way yeah.
NITRO - Well If you or I aren't the one with the belt who the hell is?
Hawkins - Anthony Phoenix.
NITRO - That doorknob is the longest reigning hardcore champion. Man what a sad state of affairs for the whole hardcore community. Dude we built that belt up to one of the most sought after titles in the IIW.
Hawkins - Yup we sure did. Really kind of sad its still 24/7 but hasn't but he hasn't been challenged in almost a month.
NITRO - Well that's definitely about to change. I don't think Tony has any idea what hardcore means. I'm going to be the one the show him. I guess the tag titles can take a back seat for a week. Time to dust off the kendo sticks and barware I guess.
Hawkins - That's my boy I knew you would rise to the occasion like I would have.
NITRO - Trust me Hawk we all know what you're willing to do. We all watched Worlds Collide and saw you lay waste to half half roster.
The 2 men clink beers and take a sip as the scene fades.
Scene 2.....
The scene opens to Chris Nitro walking thorough National Wholesale Liquidatiors. He is pushing a cart with some cookie sheets, a frying pan and a staple gun.
NITRO - Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Not going to lie a big part of me missed the hardcore scene. I love inflincting mass amounts of pain on people and seeing just how much than can inflict onto me. In a weird way returning to fight for the hardcore title is kind of like my homecoming. Blood, burning flesh, glass, fire and screaming weirdly puts my mind at ease. I can blur out the rest of the world and the mountain of issues in my life and get down and dirty and try to hurt someone. MAMA IM COMING HOME.
Nitro pushes the cart by some florescent light tubes. He loads 3 boxes into the cart.
NITRO - Anthony Phoenix the only reason you're the hardcore champion is because Ryan Hawkins and I don't want it. You know yourself if one of the Purge wanted that title it would be ours not yours. You're one lucky son of a bitch Tony you know that? It's been almost a month since you have been challenged. What kind of champion is that...........oh wait.
Nitro looks into the camera and winks.
NITRO - You see Tony you're a joke and everyone here IIW knows it. You made the decision to allign yourself with the biggest dildo in professional wrestling. Revolution X is a fucking joke that barely exists here I'm sure most people do even know that the hell that is outside of a dope ass 90s arcade game. Dan Distoner and Rev X are the worst things to happen to wrestling since ring Boys, steroids, and PG TV. What have you guys even done in IIW since joining I'll wait while you try to answer that.
Nitro looks at his watch for a full minute rolling his eyes every 10 seconds.
NITRO - Exactly what I thought, you got nothing. You live in a dream world if you think you mean anything to anyone here. Longest reigning hardcore champion with absolutely no challengers. When I was fighting for that title we had daily battles. You couldn't walk down a hall way, drive to the arena or order food without a fight breaking out. I thought we got rid of that title since it's been so stale lately. We moved on. The IIW is growing and the hardcore title is a niche title that only losers with nothing else going on fight for. Yes before you say it that was me. In my defence at that time I was absolutely a loser with nothing else going on. But now I'm one half of the most dominant tag team in IIW. Also happen to be one half of the tag team champions. So I moved on to bigger and better things. I honestly thought my hardcore wrestling days where behind me.
Nitro stops his cart and grabs 2 bottles of lighter fluid and 2 zippos off a rack. He tosses them all into his cart.
NITRO - OK, I know I just shit all over the IIW hardcore title. That's mainly because of who the champion is. It's high time that someone steps in and restores the title to its former glory. No matter how much I try I will never be able to completely leave hardcore wrestling in the rear view. Its a part of who I am as a person. I got scars on top of scars that will always remind me of who I used to be. I have evolved as a performer but don't think that means I can get hardcore anymore, don't think that means all of a sudden I feel pain, don't think that means I'm a pussy now. Tony I'm coming for you and I'm going to hurt you, hurt you really bad. You have lucked out with that hardcore title but that luck runs out at Mayhem. You haven't been tested as champion, guess what bitch it's pop quiz time and I'm the professor.
Nitro steers his cart tword the front of the store. He makes his way past a ladder he smiles and grabs it and lays it across the top of his cart.
NITRO - Tony you can see what I'm here buying. I know you know that every single thing on this cart will be used to hurt you. I'm not saying this to scare you at all. I'm pretty sure you're not scared, it's more of a preview of things to come. I want you to know exactly what you're getting into next week. There will no surprise at all when I wheel this cart to the ring with me. Hell I will even grant you permission to use anything in here. Thats how confident I am that I can beat you. I really hope you know what you're getting into. I really hope you know just how hardcore I plan on making this match. I don't plan on stopping till one of us can't get up. Most likely you to be honest. If you want to retain that you're going to need to kill me Tony. Beat me within an inch of life. If I can stand I will fight and fight hard. You're going to see first hand why I used to be the face or hardcore.
Nitro brings is cart to the check out line. The scene fades.

Post by Anthony Phoenix on Jun 2, 2021 8:07:23 GMT
The scene opens to final moments of the exhibition match between Alexander and Phoenix. At the closing bell, Phoenix pushes himself still seated towards the ring turnbuckle and sits there half amazed, half tired after going through yet another hellacious match; pretty much leaving it all in the ring. He is handed the only title belt that can be called his a few seconds after the feed goes towards a segment break.
Phoenix makes his way backstage during this segment ignoring the cheers and jeers raining down on him. Looking slightly dejected, he is approached by a backstage interviewer for the perineal interview. Phoenix pauses briefly, stares at the interviewer and at his belt. He scowls at the man with the microphone and walks off towards the Rev X dressing room. Once he reaches the room he walks in and slams the door. The interviewer follows him and stand just outside the room.
Interviewer: I’m standing right outside the Rev X dressing room where just now, Anthony Phoenix stormed in and slammed the door. A loud argument can be heard just on the other side of this door…
Suddenly, the door opens with Phoenix staring at the camera rather annoyed and angry. He pushes through the interviewer and the cameraman and storms away. The camera then pans back showing Dan DiStoner standing the doorway. The interviewer goes to ask a question when the door is slammed in his face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :::A few days later:::
The scene opens with Anthony Phoenix standing in front of a wall full of weapons that would cause great harm to anyone that would encounter them. He has his back turned only showing the back of his black casual blazer. Phoenix is admiring the wall when he turns around to face the camera.
The jacket is open showing a vintage t-shirt, the words not very distinguishable. Phoenix is holding his favorite drink in his hand: bourbon neat. His face is still bandaged on his forehead where he had bled, and the slight hint of a black eye can be seen on his left eye. The Hardcore title is around his waist over a pair of faded jeans. Phoenix raises his drink and takes a sip.
AP: Hello and welcome to wall of horrors. This room contains the instruments of pain that has been at my disposal for several years. I have collected them while my burgeoning career took flight as a master of the hardcore science. Phoenix pauses and smiles. He then returns to his narrative.
AP: You see, each of these instruments can tell you a story. A story of pain and horror. A story of losses, loss of blood and more. And of course, a story of triumph and glory. You see, ladies and gentlemen; these have brought me to greatness and failures, these have brought me on a perilous journey that will now continue to Monday night where I will defend this… Phoenix unstraps the title belt from his waist and raises it to the camera.
AP: I, the longest running champion, no less; will be defending against former champion Chris Nitro at Mayhem in two weeks. Phoenix holds up two fingers.
AP: First off, Nitro; the name is Anthony but exclusively for you it’s Antonio not Tony. It’s never been Tony, we’re not that familiar. Come Monday, you will be facing the longest reigning Hardcore champion in IIW history; not even you could hold onto this belt longer than day: as evidenced on how I took it from you at the grocery market a few weeks ago. Anthony gestures over to side with the belt indicating a few weeks.
AP: You say that I have this distinction because no one wants the title. No, to the contrary, everyone is afraid of me, afraid of the lengths or should I say depths I would sink to, to retain this title…including you. Why else would you focus on the tag titles instead of focusing on trying to get this away from me. Ah, I know…it’s because you needed help from Hawkins just to retain the title, you know Hawkins: the man I also beat for this. It seems that you or Hawkins can’t keep this or take the title from me without the help of the other. Whereas, I know that I can and come Mayhem I will. Phoenix pauses and nods before he continues.
AP: As a matter of fact, the win/loss sheets show me owning two wins over your zero on me. Now that says a whole lot. It says that you quite don’t measure up me when it comes to being hardcore. Yeah, you’ve gone shopping for instruments and such, but can you really say that you are ready? Ready against someone that cut his eye teeth on being Hardcore to his very fiber of being? I am the man that has single handedly put the lifestyle of being hardcore and extreme on the map in every federation I have graced my presence in. IIW will be no different. Phoenix pauses and shrugs.
AP: You see it’s already started with the first steal cage match at World’s Collide and will continue come Mayhem against you. Oh, and by the way, I hope you purchased a kitchen sink as well because you are going to have to use it and much more to wrest the title from me. Phoenix holds the title to his face. He rips the bandage from his forehead which causes it to begin to bleed again. Phoenix rubs his head with his free hand and wipes it on the belt.
AP: Nitro, you say that I haven’t been tested yet…well Monday, I will walk in the champion and when it’s said and done, I’ll be passing with flying colors. Prove me wrong. The camera pans in tight to Phoenix’s face, fresh blood dripping from the gash on his forehead.
AP: You count your chickens and are falsely confident because I’ve been in a slight slump, my advice to you; Nitro is DON’T BLINK! The shot fades to black showing an hourglass. Phoenix’s voice can be heard saying… “Tick Tock”

Post by Chris 'Monday Night' Nitro on Jun 2, 2021 17:26:43 GMT
The scene opens to a field just before dawn there are 4 haybales sitting in the field. The sun is just starting to rise on the horizon everything has a crisp wetness of morning dew. Fog is slowly rising off the open field as the temperature begins to increase for the day. A man in a black hoodie walks into frame and sticks something to the bales. He turns to face face camera lowering his hood. It's Chris Nitro, the camera zooms in on the bales of hay and its showen that a picture of Tony Phoenix is not stuck to them.
NITRO - This is my absolute favorite time of day. There is a stillness that just speaks to Mr. Everything is quite and calm, nothing is sleeping yet nothing is fully awake. It's a perfect balance creating what feels like a perfect moment. A true GOLDEN hour.
Nitro walks twords a black duffle bag laying a few hundred feet away. A quiver with arrows can be seen poking out of the side of the bag.
NITRO - TONY........TONY.......TONY you got a little edge to you now boy. I must admit that turns me on a little bit. I didn't know you had it in you at all to show any kind on intensity at all towards anything. I was a bit taken back but not enough to throw me off my game. Looks like my words cut just a tad deeper than I thought they would. I love that Tony I really do, I want you fired up next Mayhem. I want you to bring your best to that ring and take me to the limit becasue what kind of win would it be if you didn't. Not something I would be proud of that's for damn sure. Don't get me wrong I still think you're an absolute joke here in the IIW but I respect the little edge you seem to have now. Makes me think maybe just maybe you pose a little bit of a challenge.
Nitro crotches down to unzip the back duffle bag. He pulls out a green and black bow. He stands back up pumping his fist stright out infront of him causing the bow to snap to the operational position.
NITRO - I am a man who will admit when I was wrong about something Tony. It would appear you also came to the realization that Revolution X is made up of complete morons who have no concept of how to act in society. You came to a realization that you may no longer want to be aligned with them. That's a huge revaluation on your part Tony and I commend you for that. Revolution X is a dredge on society as well as an anchor that will hold you down. It's time for you to turn from a mindless caterpillar into a glorious butterfly and fly free Tony. Well that's enough of that sappy happy horse shit. Again still think you're a joke.
Nitro leans down and grabs an arrow from the quiver.
NITRO - Tony this is an arrow. It's designed to fly stright always at high rates of speed. As long as it's fired right it will hit its target every time. It looks very unassuming and quite simple but it's designed to do major damage possibly even end a life. Every single arrow ever made shares the same look and design and will do virtually the same thing.
Nitro loads the arrow into the Bow. He bends his knees lowers his head pulling the bowstring back. He takes a half breath than exhales slowly releasing the bowsting the arrow flys from the bow through the air hitting the picture on Tony Phoenix between the eyes.
NITRO - Boom head shot bitch. It takes time to practice and eventually master the art of bow shooting. You know what else is a huge part of it Tony? Not blinking. I find it funny that you tell me that when I have mastered the art of not blinking and always keeping my eyes on the target. Like that arrow I just sent down range I will always fly straight and never veer off a course once it's set. I am coming at you fast and hard Tony and there is nothing in this world that's going to make me take my sights off you. You don't need to worry your feeble little brain on that.
Nitro leans down to grabs another arrow.
NITRO - You know Tony I really enjoyed your little tour of weapons hanging up in that let's call it your red room. Weapons you claim have caused much pain and despair over the years. Werid that you hold onto those, they also seem to be in great condition. To me if something is used to directly inflinct this pain you speak of wouldn't it not be in the best of condition. I don't know man to me it seems you are trying to really infalte this cloud of lies about how hardcore you really are. You bring up the grocery store, cool yeah you best me becasue you jumped me when I didn't see it coming. Really manly of you there Tony takes a real tough guy to brag about an attack when someone isn't ready. I've done it sure but you don't see me out here bragging about it. Also you didn't even walk out of that store as the hardcore champion all you did was catch a beating and lose the title almost immediately. Yeah real glad you brought that up. Also I held that title for 2 days before you took it from me for the 14 second you held it. Get your fucking facts stright before you make false claims.
Nitro steadies himself, takes a short breath exhales slowly firing the bow. The air hits the forehead of the picture of Tony Phoenix.
NITRO - Spin any narrative you want Tony Baloney but the fact of the matter is your hardcore champion because I couldn't be bothered to care about that title. Ryan and I formed a friendship forged in fire through battle. We took a liking to eachother and decided to make a run at the tag titles to dethrone the undefeated champions. Guess what we did just that and we are the ones holding the titles now. We made a decision to move on to different titles yes but we in no way stopped being hardcore. I can and will still swing a kendo stick better than anyone in the business. I will use a cheese grater on your face and tear off whats left of your already wonky eye. One never truly stops being hardcore Tony. It's something that will always be a part of me.
Nitro grabs his coffee that's sitting on the grass next to the duffle bag. He takes a sip and sets it back down.
NITRO - Oh all the false and clearly infalted lies you spewed Tony the biggest and most bold is that people are scared of you. Like for real do you honestly belive that. If you do than I will call Curtis and have you booked into Shady Acres man because you clealy have dementia. No one is scared of you, that little ant walking on the sidewalk under your shoe isn't even scared of you man. I've seen cute little puppies that scare me more than you do. YOURE A BITCH TONY. Tick Tock really you unoriginal fuck. Are you the damn crocodile from Peter Pan. Stalking me making clock noises and shit.
Nitro sets the bow down next to his duffle bag and coffee. He walks down to the hair bails admiring his shots. He takes the picture off the hay then rips is up.
NITRO - Look directly into my eyes Tony. You can pretend to be some hardcore icon all you want but all know you're scared. You can hide and wait to jump me when I'm not looking this time. I will be standing in that ring waiting for that bell to ring sending me right at you like an arrow. I am going to beat you from pillar to post post back again when I'm given the chance. I am going to show you and everyone in that arena that I am not scared of you. Going to show why no one should be scared of you. I hope you enjoyed your "record breaking" title run because it comes to an end at Mayhem. Yeah I could have made a times up joke right there and said tick tok but I'm better than that. I'm not above this though.
Nitro turns to face away from the camera but standing directly above the ripped picture of Tony Phoenix while unzipping his fly. The scene is fading to black as you can hear liquid draining into the picture.

Post by Anthony Phoenix on Jun 13, 2021 9:56:12 GMT
The scene opens up to total black with only the sound of someone breathing Suddenly footsteps are heard, as a figure enters the shot, it’s Anthony Phoenix. He is dressed in total black save for the shiny Hardcore title that is around his waist. He looks around and takes in the darkness. After looking down he raises his head and begins to speak.
AP: Hello and welcome to the witching hour. The time when all things unsavory come out to do what they do. A time that I quite enjoy, as it allows me time to commune with…well we won’t go there, just suffice it to say this time gives me peace and gives me time to plan.
Phoenix pauses and smiles briefly before continuing,
AP: You see Nitro, just like the witching hour is an appointed time, so is your appointed time when we meet in the squared circle for my title, Monday at Mayhem. A title that you say you’ve moved on from, that you say you are now focused on something different. Is it really that? Or is it that you’ve determined that you just quite don’t measure up with me. You say that you are one of the best Hardcore warriors there is but when it came down to holding onto it, who was the one that took it? Yes, that’s right: ME.
He pauses again and points to himself,
AP: Nitro, you spoke about the second time I beat you, but you seem to not recall the first time. Is it because that I dropped you so hard on your head that amnesia occurred? Regardless of the excuse the record books will forever proclaim that I own two wins over you. Truth is you have never beaten me and come Monday; the true harsh reality is that you won’t be able to do it then either.
He shrugs his shoulders.
AP: The true harsh reality is that you quite don’t measure up. Why else would you convince Hawkins, who does own pins against me to leave the division for the tag division. You realized that you never would be able to handle the hardcore monsters that dared enter, alone!
Phoenix shakes his head.
AP: Nitro, you said that I lied about people being afraid of me as to why I am the longest reigning Hardcore champion. Well just ask Joseph Manania…oh wait you can’t because he left never to return or ask Adam the Monster…oh yeah he just couldn’t measure up and decided to never challenge again after I took it from him: that sound familiar, Adam did exactly like you did. But I do give you credit as your zeal for the hardcore lifestyle has never been extinguished and that’s the warrior that I want to see come Monday. Anything less and it’ll be a complete travesty. All blister and no action to back it up.
Phoenix pauses slightly to unstrap the title from his waist. He then holds it up. The conspicuous blood smear can still be seen.
AP: Nitro, you see this right here. This signifies that I am a cut above all normal men. This signifies that I am willing to do anything and everything. That when the time comes, even Christopher Nitro will yet again be, for the third time, a victim of the Xtreme Wrestling Machine; Your IIW Hardcore Champion, Anthony Phoenix.
The scene blacks out to just an hour glass with sand trickling down.
AP: Tick Tock!
